Why do some people still think the Hillary/CNN question planter in the Republican Debate is a lie?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqoQeU2DFv8&feature=related

CNN literally flew this person in, put him in a hotel, and picked him to ask the questions. How much more facts are needed? CNN claims not to have known. Couldn’t they spend a few seconds on Google?

CNN never aired the Hillary plant story at all yesterday, cut Kerr's questions from the debate replay, and spent most of the time promoting there own debate controversies.

Way to cover your *** CNN!

Answer 1

More than that , it has now been revealed that 1/3 of all the questions(I think there were 34?) were from Registered Democrats and many of which work for various Democratic candidates . Also worth noting is that CNN posted captions calling these people "Undecided Voters' when they knew damn well that they were Democratic Loyalists .

Scam Scam Scam . . . . .Goose !!!

EDIT - 'Beardog' is not offended because it doesn't fit his agenda . What he's ignoring is that it's Fraud to misrepresent on a debate . And it 'WOULD' be fair IF AND ONLY IF this was the norm and done routinely . But it isn't and it wasn't .

Answer 2

Well in fairness, Republicans do this all the time. Sometimes George Bush won't even answer questions from people who aren't planted in his press conferences. The Republican head of FEMA set up a completely staged press conference, like anyone wouldn't find out. I mean this happens a lot, and probably more from Republicans. I guess if you can't beat 'em join 'em, I dunno. I don't think the Dems are too scared if you listen to the way Republicans talk about Hillary, they are scared to death. Republicans will have to pick on little things, and maybe some swift boating because in a straight up contest, the Republicans have no leg to stand on. Not too many people are happy with the country, and the Republicans have been in the white house 20 out of the last 28 years.

CNN producer last week: We want GOP debate to be … “a debate of their party”

With only a week to go before the Republican CNN/YouTube debate next Wednesday, voters are lighting up the video site with serious and not-so-serious questions for the eight candidates…
Most questions online have been pulled from public viewing for review, but many of the remaining posts involve asking the candidates to defend their opposition to gay marriage and abortion. Those kinds of “lobbying grenades” would be disqualified by the CNN selection team, Mr. Bohrman said.
“There are quite a few things you might describe as Democratic ‘gotchas,’ and we are weeding those out,” Mr. Bohrman said. CNN wants to ensure that next Wednesday’s Republican event is “a debate of their party.”…
Mr. Cooper and two of his researchers are involved in the selection process, Mr. Bohrman noted.

If questions about whether women who abort should be locked up or whether Jesus would be pro-death penalty don’t count as “lobbying grenades,” what does?

Answer 4

The whole debate was a setup. The Dems and the Liberal media know that this election is going to be a tough win with Hillary or Obama as the candidate. They smile, coo, gush and giggle publicly when talking about them but behind closed doors, they are sweating grenades and sh*ting coconuts.

Answer 5

Well, look how evenhanded CNN is behaving with these ‘debates’.

For the Democratic ‘debate’ they had Democratic activists planted in the audience posing as ‘undecided voters’

For the Republican ‘debate’ they had Democratic activists planted in the audience posing as ‘undecided voters’

Is that equal treatment, or what?

Answer 6

I guess it's not that big a deal to me. If the candidates aren't going to address eachother directly over policy issues, then I'm glad it's being taken care of in other ways. I don't mind Democrats asking questions to Republican candidates anymore than I mind Democratic Candidates being asked to address issues of concern to Republican voters- whoever wins will be the President of the whole country.

Answer 7

I do not think it is a lie.
I think it was good "Strategery" on the Dems part.

In the time honored tradition of Jeff Gannon.

Answer 8

hillary is a joke and this is the only way the left can get her elected.

Answer 9

liberals deny the trth when it makes them look bad
well they just deny truth because it allways makes them look bad
